Show notes
Serena Kerrigan is a creator, author and the "Queen of Confidence" who turned dating 50 men blind on Instagram Live into Let's F***ing Date, a card game, sold-out live events and a community of over a million, and whose first book, Let's F*cking Date: Become the Prize, Enjoy the Ride, and Never Settle Again, is out now.
In this episode, she and Rivki talk about why every person is born confident and how talking to yourself in the mirror like your best friend changes the way you see yourself, the moment her mom pointed out that the men she kept choosing were emotionally unavailable, and the dating habits that quietly signal a lack of self-worth. They also discuss why her mom never let her call her a friend, what 50 blind dates taught her about values over checklists, why the anxiety you feel with the wrong person may be your body knowing before your mind, why "I'm too busy" can be a defense against rejection, and her favorite New York date spots.

Christina Elezaj is a fashion and beauty creator who made the leap from a full-time corporate job at LinkedIn to building her own platform and brand, including a capsule collection with Revolve.
In this episode, she and Rivki talk about her winding path from a biology major and medical career track to marketing at LinkedIn to full-time content creation, why persistence and work ethic have been the throughline across every job she’s held, and the reality of burnout and the behind-the-scenes work that goes into being a creator. They also discuss finding a personal style that’s authentically yours instead of chasing trends, how she uses AI as a tool but never for anything personal, and what it really means to build a loyal community instead of just growing a following.

Show notes
Jourdan Sloane Childress is a fashion creator and entrepreneur who has been in the influencer space since before it was a legitimate career path, building her audience from a fashion design internship and a blog into a lasting online business. In this episode, she and Rivki talk about how content creation has transformed from highly produced editorial shoots to fast, authentic hooks, why she believes quantity now matters more than quality for anyone starting out today, and how she stopped needing external validation once she found it in her relationships and her own confidence. They also discuss meeting her husband Wells on Raya and what made her know he was serious, the importance of not internalizing rejection or comparison in this industry, and her honest take on personal style, trends, and New York City favorites.

In this episode, she and Rivki talk about her winding path from movie producing to editorial to Estée Lauder before starting Saie, how listening to her community shaped the brand's name, products, and bestsellers like Glowy Super Gel, and why she's never once thought of the beauty space as too crowded to break into. They also discuss her leadership philosophy rooted in joy rather than fear, the scrappy early days of building a brand with almost no budget, and the one piece of advice she'd give her younger self about scaling operations.

Shannon Ford is a content creator, storyteller, and internet personality known for her time onVery Cavallari and her unfiltered presence online. In this episode, Rivki and Shannon get into authenticity, the art of oversharing, navigating friendships, relationships, and what it really means to find people who show up for you.
We get into:
- Shannon's origin story: DC politics, dropping out of college, moving to Nashville on a whim, driving for Uber, landing on Kristen Cavallari's reality show, and getting fired from both the job and the show in the same breath
- Why being authentically yourself online is not as simple as it sounds, and why performative relatability is actually worse than being polished
- Learning to stop giving the internet everything, and how her husband helped her realize that keeping something private is not the same as being fake
- The "too much" fear: how she spent her whole life convinced she was too much for people, and how James made that fear completely disappear
- Why gossip is the root of all evil, why communication is the hallmark of every lasting relationship, and what to do when the other person refuses to meet you halfway

Claudia Oshry is the host of The Toast, one of the most loyal and joyful communities in podcasting. In this episode, she gets surprisingly real about the version of herself she had to let go of when she became a mom, and why she has never been happier about it.
We get into:
- Why she deliberately waited 10 years to have a baby, hustled until she could coast, and why she is completely at peace saying no to life-changing opportunities if it means leaving her family
- The GLP-1 journey: why she kept it private for months, why she believes medical privacy is non-negotiable, and what finally made her share
- Her low-lift wellness philosophy: cycle syncing, gut health, and why she thinks most of wellness culture is a grift
- The life cycle of a troll, her Chappell Roan take, and what celebrities actually owe their fans
- Her three very different sisters and how Jewish faith shaped everything about who she is
If you have ever felt torn between who you were building toward and who you actually want to be right now, this episode is for you.

Francesca Tighinean: Why Anxious Attachment Is Making You Lonelier

Show notes
Francesca Tighinean is a psychology educator, content creator, and future Hay House author who has built one of the most engaged communities in the psychology space by sharing the things most people are thinking but not saying out loud. In this episode, she makes it very hard to look at your relationships or your loneliness the same way again.
We get into:
Why anxiously attached people are actually covert avoiders, and how the fear of abandonment causes you to unconsciously choose partners who can never give you real intimacy
What self-sabotage actually is: a younger, wounded part of you that does not want what you consciously say you want, and what it takes to talk to that part
Why understanding your patterns is not the same as healing them, and why real change has to happen in the body not just the mind
The specific reasons so many people are lonelier than ever: technology removing the need for human contact, lost social skills, and a self-first culture quietly costing us our closest relationships
Why the de-centering movement and hyper-rigid boundaries might be reinforcing the very patterns they are trying to heal
If you have ever felt like you want deep connections but cannot seem to hold on to them, this episode is for you.

Jenn Sherman is one of Peloton's first-ever instructors, a cycling icon who has been leading riders for over 13 years and recently turned her focus to what she calls the Back Nine Era: redefining strength, longevity, and midlife fitness for women. She and Rivki talk about why cardio alone stops being enough in midlife, what her Back Nine Era mindset really means for how women should be moving and fueling their bodies, and why she now spends five days a week lifting weights instead of riding. They also get into the reality of navigating menopause: the mood shifts, disrupted sleep, and bone density wake-up calls nobody warned her about; and why Jenn believes this chapter of life is less about declining and more about pivoting into the strongest version of yourself yet.

Joyce Chabbott is a content creator and mom of four who built her platform around life on the Upper East Side. In this episode, she and Rivki talk about the decision to intentionally share her life online and navigating criticism that she "glorifies motherhood" by not filming tantrums, why she teaches her kids about their privilege instead of hiding it from them, and the isolating experience of becoming a content creator when no one in your real life understands what you're doing. They also discuss setting boundaries with what her kids share about their friends, the fast-paced culture of raising kids in New York City, and how going viral by accident turned into an empowering career she built while still being fully present for her family.

Stephanie Gottlieb is the woman behind some of the most recognizable fine jewelry in the world, building a luxury brand that bridges the gap between fine jewelry and everyday fashion.
